Grief and Anxiety 🖤

The pain of losing someone you love isn't a weakness. It's a sign of how deeply you can care. Grief happens when love has nowhere else to go. It's the heart's way of remembering. Of holding on to connection, even after someone is gone. 

It's messy, it's real, it's human. It's not about getting over the loss quickly, that's not how love works. It's about understanding that missing someone means you love them completely. 

Real healing isn't about forgetting, it's about carrying their memory with you. Letting the love stay alive in a different way. It's about creating space for your feelings, understanding that sadness and love live side by side.

We all experience loss differently. We all grieve in our own way and that's okay! We aren't broken by our pain. We are shaped by how deeply we can love. :)

When was the last time you experienced grief, and how did it affect you?

@daydreammemories I agree and very beautifully written<3 I especially love how you mentioned that healing isn't about forgetting<3 

Grief is something that now is just a part of everyday, there is missing in every little thing and that's okay. My heart breaks but it knows how to heal as well :)

@daydreammemories Grief is certainly messy. It's also complicated at times. I lost my father and my dog last year at this time, a week and a half apart. I have a lot of mixed emotions about my father. On one hand I loved him but on the other hand.... Mostly I've just been numb

Thank you for the check in :)
